DEDICATION 


All=-Souls’ Day 


A road soon lost in shadow either way ; 

Bared boughs above against the darkening gray ; 
The hush of a November afternoon, 

Too late for sunshine and for stars too soon: 


Soft breaths of twilight that unspoken fall 

About God’s House, beyond the roadside wall 

Guarding inviolate its graves; a gate 

Where they who come keep tryst with them that wait :— 


Peace to all souls remembered or forgot ; 
And to all friends the love that changes not, 
If they have caught the sunrise from the hill 
Or at my side are pressing forward still.

PREFACE 


Y common consent a preface is permitted to be human and 
personal: in a publication so restricted as this it may be 
allowed even a note of intimacy. 


For a great many years the writing of hymns has been to 
me something less than a vocation, and yet something more than 
an avocation. It has provided a natural form of religious ex- 
pression, and I have tried to make it a form of service. Fully 
aware of the attitude of literary critics toward our hymns and 
hymn books, my conviction remains unshaken that the hymn, 
with all its limitations, is still a legitimate type of lyrical verse. 
And so I have ventured to cultivate hymn writing as a form of 
art also. It may be best to say so frankly, lest the hymns them- 
selves should falter in bearing witness to such an aim. 


As the years passed a thought has been taking shape to 
gather up these hymns, or at least the better of them, from their 
scattered sources into a little book all their own,— “‘that’s for re- 
membrance.” ‘The casual discovery of an interval of forty-seven 
years between the dates of the earliest hymn and the latest sug- 
gested that the time to fulfill such a purpose may have arrived. 


In a period prolific of extended ‘‘ Autobiographies,’’ ‘‘Remin- 
iscences”’ and “ Recollections of a Lifetime,” it may be that so 
unpretentious a keepsake needs no apology. If one be needed 
it will be found in the large number of original tunes to which 
from time to time gracious and accomplished friends have set my 

—j— 


An 


hymns. Most of these tunes have remained, treasured but un- 
heard, in the manuscript scores in which they were received; 
some of them for more than the quarter of a century. 


And it is right that a selection of those that are at once 
beautiful and serviceable should be put into print. I have cov- 
ered the tunes with the copyright of the book because of a fancy 
that for a while at least they should be used in connection with 
the words which called them forth. That, I think, is what their 
composers would have liked, so many of whom are gone ahead of 
me into the silence that wraps us round.

When clouds at dawn are gleaming, 
Lift up mine answering eyes 

To where Thy light is streaming 
On faith’s high enterprise.

While all the heights are calling, 
And skies are blithe and blue, 
Keep Thou my feet from falling, 
My heart’s ambitions true.

Let simple pleasures cheer me 
When every goal seems far; 
Reveal Thyself as near me 
As life and duty are.

And when the light is fading, 
If dreams have not come true, 
Yet breathe Thy peace pervading 
The twilight through and through.

When life’s long day is ended 
And shadows closer creep, 
Lord, let me feel befriended 
Before I go to sleep.

Like stars, by night; With Christ the Son, 
Thy gifts are every morning new, And, Holy Spirit, unto Thee,

Thy mercy, like the heavens’ blue, All glory to the Trinity 
Fills all our sight. While ages run.

Gut King’s own child, the morning, The royal lights of morning, 
Uplifts its golden head; How quickly paled and gray! 
The gems its crown adorning And falls, with scarce a warning, 
Are pearls and rubies red: The light of common day: 
And filmy folds in cloudland made Perchance the common day may be 
Are on its shoulders lightly laid. The golden opportunity.

Our King’s best gift, the morning, To God, the light’s Creator, 
Lies lavish o’er the land, To Christ, the Light of Light, 
But fades beneath the scorning To God, Illuminator, 
Of an unwilling hand. Be praise from dawn to night. 
Lord, make us wise the best to choose, To God, enthroned above the skies, 
And to Thy praise Thy gifts to use. Our morning ne shall ever rise.

A Carol for Christmas Eve 


I 
4p winter night was dark and still, 
The village lay asleep; 
In meadows underneath the hill 
The shepherds watched their sheep: 
The shepherds watched their sheep, good Lord, 
But angels watched o’er Thee, 
While Mary held Thee to her heart, 
And they sang jubilee. 


II 

As now the Yule-log glows aflame, 
And winds without run wild, 

We softly speak the blessed Name 
They gave Thee as a child, 

They gave Thee as a child, good Lord; 
O winter winds, be still! 

O Christmas star, shine down again 
On meadow and on hill! 


III 
Lord Jesus, look from Heaven above, 
And come, Lord Jesus, here; 
To fill our home with Christmas love 
Our hearts with Christmas cheer, 
Our hearts with Christmas cheer, good Lord; 
And happy may we be, 
All lads and maidens in our homes 
And sailor boys at sea. 


IV 
O Mary’s Son, for her sweet sake 
All womankind is blest; 
We praise Thy Name when first we wake, 
And when we go to rest: 
And when we go to rest, good Lord, 
Our nightly thanks are given 
For all good mothers, — some on earth, 


And some with Thine in Heaven.

(The Narrator) I 
A KING might miss the guiding star, 
A Wise Man’s foot might stumble; 
For Bethlehem is very far 
From all except the humble. 


(Chorus of Children) ’Tis Christmas Day! ’Tis Christmas Day! 
And Christmas hearts are humble. 


II 
Some pilgrims seek a hallowed shrine; 
Some soldiers march to danger; 
Some travellers seek an inn — its sign, 
“The Baby in a Manger.” 


When Christ was born on Christmas morn, 
They laid Him in a manger. 


UI 

There is no palace in that place, 
Nor any seat of learning, 

No hill-top vision of God’s face 
No altar candles burning. 


O come and see our Christmas tree 
And Christmas candles burning. 


IV 
But he who gets to Bethlehem 
Shall hear the oxen lowing; 
And, if he humbly kneel with them, 
May catch far trumpets blowing: 


From far away, on Christmas Day, 
May hear God’s trumpets blowing.

The Lord of Glory 


I 
A GLORY lit the wintry sky 
Before the break of day, 
And in a little house near by 
The Lord of Glory lay: 
Angels of peace the tidings bring, 
Angels of Jesus sing. 


II 
Our common ways with anxious feet 
The Lord of Glory trod, 
But met not one in lane or street 
That knew the Son of God: 
Angels of peace their greetings bring, 
Angels that may not sing. 


III 
“T come to bring the weary rest,” 
The Lord of Glory said, 
Yet found no place to east or west 
Where He might lay His head: 
Angels of peace above Him still, 
Angels await His will. 


IV 
And when they led Him forth to die, 
Around His cross of shame 
The men He came to save stood by 
And mocked their Saviour’s Name: 
Angels of peace their stations keep, 
Angels of sorrow weep. 


Vv 
O Son of Man whom angels know! 
O heart of man, how cold, 
How dull to see, to praise how slow, 
Now as in days of old! 
Angels of peace their hymns upraise, 
Angels of glory praise.

I 
O SING a song of Bethlehem, 
Of shepherds watching there, 
And of the news that came to them 
From angels in the air: 
The light that shone on Bethlehem 
Fills all the world to-day; 
Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth 
The angels sing alway. 


II 
O sing a song of Nazareth, 
Of sunny days of joy, 
O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, 
And of the sinless Boy: 
For now the flowers of Nazareth 
In every heart may grow; 
Now spreads the fame of His dear Name 
On all the winds that blow. 


III 
O sing a song of Galilee, 
Of lake and woods and hill, 
Of Him who walked upon the sea 
And bade its waves be still: 
For though, like waves on Galilee, 
Dark seas of trouble roll, 
When faith has heard the Master’s word, 
Falls peace upon the soul. 


IV 

O sing a song of Calvary, 

Its glory and dismay; 
Of Him who hung upon the tree 

And took our sins away: 
For He who died on Calvary 

Is risen from the grave, 
And Christ our Lord, by Heaven adored, 


Is mighty now to save.

Now the winter days are o’er, Shining angel forms appear 
And the spring is come; Where the Saviour lay; 
Now the trees and flowers once more  ‘‘He is risen; He is not here,”’ 
Call the song birds home. Angel voices say.

Now the faithful heart awakes Brighter light than dawn may bring 
From its night of gloom; From that grave is poured;

I 
Neto this fold, Thine other sheep obey Thee, 
And follow on by paths we do not know, 
Out in the world, in other worlds it may be, 
Which God can find and where His free winds blow. 


II 
Free blow His winds, although our path is narrow; 
Warm shines His sun, although our hearts are cold; 
His heavens arch the fall of every sparrow; 
And all Thy sheep, O Christ, may find a fold. 


III 

One Shepherd’s voice on hills where dusk is falling! 
One flock beneath the sunlight and the star! 

If any sheep has wandered from Thy calling, 
I pray Thee, Christ, it wander not too far. 


IV 

So many folds! So many sheep-bells chiming! 
One fold at last; one Shepherd evermore! 

And some that hardly know Thy voice are climbing 
To enter in, O Christ, the open door.

Hew patiently they trod with Him 
The hills of Galilee, — 
His sheep who knew their Shepherd’s voice 
And heard His ‘‘ Follow Me!” 
O Master, we are Thine, 
Thou callest us to-day; 
Thy life and truth still shine 
Upon Thy Church’s way. 


II 
Nor house nor hut the Shepherd had, 
Nor shelter for His flock, 
When He exulting said, “My Church 
I build upon this rock.” 
Lord Jesus, guard it well 
When faith and courage fail; 
Let not the gates of hell 
Against Thy Church prevail. 


III 
No gifts were in that empty hand, 
His cross alone in view 
From out the shadows, when He said, 
“My peace I leave with you.” 
O Saviour, at Thy side 
All strife and discord cease; 
Where Thou wast crucified 
Thy Church shall find her peace. 


IV 
And now when troubled hearts are turned 
Toward Heaven’s distant hill, 
The Spirit of Remembrance speaks, — 
“Lo! I am with you still: 
Remember Jesus Christ 
Arisen from the dead; 
The Lamb once sacrificed, 
The Church’s only Head.”

qpake lamps of Heaven are burning still 
Beyond the wind and weather; 

Then lift your heart and brace your will 
To breast the hill together. 

It’s hill and hollow, mist or rain, 
It’s failure and endeavor, 

It’s struggle always, sometimes pain, 
And then it’s home for ever. 


II 


So share your hope of Heaven to-day, 
If any heart will heed you; 
And give, along the narrow way, 
A hand to those who need you: 
Till some spent pilgrim in his woe, 
Who feels your arm around him, 
Will dream that Heaven is bending low 
- And bless the love that found him. 


III 


O who would scale life’s topmost hill 
Alone amid the heather, 

Where he might lead a comrade still 
To enter Heaven together? 

God lend more kindness to the brave, 
God make faint hearts more daring; 

From pride defend, in weakness save, 
And prosper our wayfaring.

A Brotberbood hymn 


I 
Awe light of God is falling 
Upon life’s common way; 

The Master’s voice still calling, 

“Come, walk with Me to-day:” 
No duty can seem lowly 

To him who lives with Thee, 
And all of life grows holy, 

O Christ of Galilee. 


II 

Who shares his life’s pure pleasures, 
And walks the honest road, 

Who trades with heaping measures, 
And lifts his brother’s load, 

Who turns the wrong down bluntly, 
And lends the right a hand; 

He dwells in God’s own country, 
He tills the Holy Land. 


III 

Where human lives are thronging 
In toil and pain and sin, 

While cloistered hearts are longing 
To bring the kingdom in, 

O Christ, the Elder Brother 
Of proud and beaten men, 

When they have found each other, 
Thy kingdom will come then. 


IV 

Thy ransomed host in glory, 
All souls that sin and pray, 

Turn toward the cross that bore Thee; 
“Behold the man!”’ they say: 

And while Thy Church is pleading 
For all who would do good, 

We hear Thy true voice leading 
Our song of brotherhood.

Till knowledge turns the key 
That opens wide the sealéd gates 
Into eternity. 


III 

And yet, as high as faith may go, 
As far as knowledge see, 

The heart would seek its Lord to know, 
The mind discover Thee: 

Would know Thee, unto truth drawn nigh 
By loving what is true; 

Would see Thee, as the climber’s eye 
Anticipates the view. 


IV 
I rest upon Thy fatherhood, 
While round and over me 
Outspreads the awful amplitude 
Of Thine infinity. 
There gleam the paths where angels meet, 
High, airy and untrod, 
And here the roads where earth-bound feet 
May humbly walk with God.

Wiben We Came Back to Dove 


I 
UR wilful hearts have gone astray; 
Our feet have wandered far away; 
O God, remember not the day 
When we forsook Thy love. 


II 
O patient Eyes that saw us go! 
O careless hearts to grieve Thee so! 
O feet how swift to leave, how slow 
When we came back to Love! 


III 
We followed far the wayward will; 
Our eyes turned home from every hill; 
They saw Thee waiting, watching still 
When we looked back to Love. 


IV 
We found no home to east or west; 
We bore no peace within the breast, 
Until once more we were at rest 
When we came back to Love. 


V 
“Our Father!”’ Hallowed be the Name 
That all within Thy house proclaim; 
Their prayer and ours at last the same, — 
Thy will be done, O Love.

(202 Shepherd! Theirs, who heard Thy call; 
Content to walk with Thee, 
While sunlight stays, when shadows fall, 
And then — we could not see — 
Beyond life’s evening star, 
Into the paling west, 
Where they who followed far 
Have ended now their quest. 


II 


Good Shepherd! Ours, with feet less bold 
To choose the way they took; 
Half longing for that distant fold, 
And half afraid to look 
Beyond life’s evening star, 
Beyond the things that seem, 
Nor shade nor sunlight are, — 
The twilight and the dream! 


III 


Good Shepherd! When we leave Thy side 
In doubtful dreams to stray, 
Our wayward eyes refuse their Guide, 
Who only knows the way 
Beyond life’s evening star 
And through the paling west, 
Where they who follow far 
Are with Thee still in rest.

While the Cross of Christ is beaming 
From the summit of the world.

APPY town of Salem, Happy town of Salem! 
Set on Zion’s hill! Happy little feet 
Happy hearts of pilgrims, Of the children playing 
Could they see it still! In the golden street! 
He that follows Jesus, “Let them come,” says Jesus, 
He that dares the right, “And forbid them not;” 
Sees the lights of Salem But the proud in Salem 
Gleam across the night. Have no part nor lot.

Happy town of Salem, Happy town of Salem, 
With the jasper wall! With its open gates! 
In its many mansions Happy are the pilgrims 
There is room for all. Whom a welcome waits! 
“Come to Me,” says Jesus, In the Name of Jesus 
“T will give you rest;”’ They an entrance claim, 
And the town of Salem And the guards of Salem 
Gathers all the blest. Answer, “In His Name.” 


V 
Happy town of Salem, 
Vision true of peace, 
Seen above earth’s strivings, 
Steadfast when they cease! 
“Take thy cross,’ says Jesus; 
And the narrow way 
Brings the feet to Salem 
At the break of day.

“And There Shall Be tho Wight There” 


I 
HERE’S a red burst of dawn, and a blue-vaulted noon, 
[And the hues of the rainbow are seven;] 
But they need not the sun or the silvery moon 
In the light of God’s glory in Heaven. 


II 
There’s a break in the clouds, and a sheen on the rain, 
[And the hues of the rainbow are seven;] 
But there’s none other light that can brighten our pain 
Than the light which shines steadfast in Heaven. 


III 
There’s a calm of the heart through the long afternoon, 
[For the gifts of the Spirit are seven,| 
While there floats on the dusk, like a leaf-whispered tune, 
“Did you know that it’s ne’er night in Heaven?” 


IV 
There’s a gleam through the night of a throne set afar, 
[And the hues of its rainbow are seven;] 
But it stands not more sure than God’s promises are, 
When He saith, ‘‘There is no night in Heaven.”

We leave them there with Thee.

Over the home where Jesus lay 
Their watch they kept 
From dark to daybreak, long ago, 
While Jesus slept.

Asleep, awake, 
And loving thee with love more deep 
For Jesus’ sake.

Stabat Mater dolorosa 


I 
eee: the Mother, worn with weeping, 
By the cross her ward was keeping, 


While her Son was crucified. 
Every grief and pang that tore Him 
Pierced the soul of her who bore Him 
With the sword once prophesied. 


II 
O what sorrow and affliction, — 
Hers who won God’s benediction, 
Mother of His Holy One! 
How that burdened breast was heaving; 
O those eyes bedimmed with grieving, 
Lifted still to find her Son! 


III 
Of the men who stood beside her 
Were there lips that could deride her? 
Were there eyes that did not weep? 
Whose that would not, only thinking 
Of his Saviour’s Mother drinking 
With her Son a cup so deep? 


IV 
By His people there surrounded, 
For whose sins she saw Him wounded, 
Saw Him while those stripes He bore 
Him her dearest, from her taken, 
Dying desolate, forsaken, 
Till at last He breathed no more. 


V 
Mother-love, love’s depths revealing, 
May thy sorrow’s tide of feeling 
Whelm me in that flood with thee: 
All my heart to Christ returning, 
And in Him my God discerning, 
May His grace encompass me.

In amando Christum Deum, 
Ut sibi complaceam.

O ter beata gaudiis: 


(11) 
O vera semper Unitas, 
O una semper Veritas, 
O sancta semper, que bonum 
Diffundis omne, Caritas: 


(111) 
Te densa circum nubila, 
Te circum inaccessum jubar, 
Quod intus ardent angeli 
Circum trementes cernere. 


(Iv) 
Te confitetur in tuo 
Kt plebs renata nomine; 
Firmaque prelibat fide 
Amor quod ambit premium. 


(v) 
Da posse quod jubes, Pater: 
Da scire, Fili, quod doces: 
Fac corde toto, Spiritus, 
Nos velle quod probas bonum. 


(v1) 
Presta, Pater piisime, 
Patrique compar Unice, 
Sancto simul cum Spiritu, 
Regnans per omne seeculum.

I (x) 
QO GOD Most High, QO LUCE qui mortalibus 
By mortal eye Lates inaccessa, Deus, 
Unseen, Thou hidest in the light, Presente quo sancti tremunt 
Upon whose brink Nubuntque vultus angeli: 


E’en angels shrink, 
And veil their faces from the sight. 


II 
’Tis darkness here, 
And, far or near, 
Through deepest shadow lies the way 
Unto the gate, — 
And there to wait 
The rising of eternal day. 


III 
The flash of dawn 
So quickly gone, 
The brightest blaze of noontide’s ray, 
Like twilight seem 
Beside the gleam 
And glory of that coming day. 


IV 
O golden day 
So far away, 
Why dost thou linger, yet how long? 
From flesh set free 
The soul must be 
Ere it can join thy morning song. 


is 
Its chains put by, 
How swift to fly, 
O God, to look upon Thy face! 
Of love to Thee 
Its song shall be, 
Its lasting joy to praise Thy grace. 


VI 
Blest Trinity, 
May Thy gifts be 
Our gracious helpers by the way, 
Till our brief night 
Shall catch the light 
That heralds the eternal day.

(11) 
Hic, ceu profunda conditi 
Demergimur caligine: 
A&ternus at noctem suo 
Fulgore depellet dies. 


(111) 
Hunce nempe nobis preeparas, 
Nobis reservas hunce diem, 
Quem vix adumbrat splendida 
Flammantis astri claritas. 


(iv) 
Moraris heu! nimis diu 
Moraris, optatus dies: 
Ut te fruamur, noxil 
Linquenda moles corporis. 


Cela 
His cum soluta vinculis 
Mens evolarit, O Deus, 
Videre te, laudare te, 
Amare te non desinet. 


(v1) 
Ad omne nos apta bonum, 
Foecunda donis Trinitas; 
Fac lucis usure brevi 
Aiterna succedat dies.
